Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally aren’t afraid to do your own dirty work! You’re no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another person’s perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. ‘Everything in moderation – including moderation’ might sum up your approach to life. |

You can play hardball with the best of them! You know what you want and are not afraid to go for it – even if it means bending the rules occasionally and putting a few noses out of joint on the way. Nothing fazes you. You are decisive, self-confident and pretty much up for anything. You are a ‘means-to-an-end’ person. For you, it’s not necessarily a matter of right or wrong, but of what gets the job done. ‘Bring it on’ is your mantra, but to help those around you keep their heads, you should learn some tricks to help you temper your self-satisfying tendencies... Several poster who could no doubt better that score are being strangely reticent to participate. |

"You are warm and empathic with a heightened awareness of social responsibility and a strong sense of conscience. You like to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of a situation before you act and are generally averse to taking risks. You are very much a ‘people person’ and dislike conflict. ‘Do unto others…’ are your watchwords. But, although you avoid hurting others, those residing at the higher end of the psychopathic spectrum might not be as considerate, so stay vigilant to avoid being hurt unnecessarily."

Re: psychopath night
Who are the psychopaths on this board then? I can't think of a single one in the Canada section.

One of the examples they gave was asking people what they would do if they were alone with a new born baby. That baby would grow up to be Hitler. You have a cushion, noone would know, would you kill the baby? Those who scored high said yes they would |

Of course, sadly, in my twenties I didn't need a username because there was nothing to use it on. |

The extreme lack of empathy, total narcissism and competitive nature do not make for an endearing individual. I have two friends who would be at the higher end of the spectrum, and have had to lose touch with both, as I became more and more aware of their traits. Granted they are very successful, can be very charming and likely to be heros, but their flaws outweigh their positives in my opinion.

Re: psychopath night
A miserable 36%. I was lying, though. I don't really care if my score skews the data. These people are irrelevant.
